Batko: Van Jefferson Believes George Pickens Could Be 1,500 to 1,800-Yard Receiver For Steelers

He might not be at Organized Team Activities, but third-year Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver George Pickens remains a key talking point for the Black and Gold.

As the wide receiver market blows up around the Steelers from a new contract standpoint in recent weeks, Pickens needs a running mate as a true No. 2 receiver following the trade of Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers.

The Steelers drafted Roman Wilson out of Michigan in the third round and added Van Jefferson, Quez Watkins, and Scotty Miller in free agency, but more work is needed there.
